BOTOX® FAQ’s
What is BOTOX® skin treatment?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a minimally invasive procedure that improves the appearance of wrinkles around the eyes and between eyebrows. It blocks nerve signals to prevent muscle contractions, which can slow down wrinkling by preventing facial muscles from contracting too much.
At what age should you start getting BOTOX®?
BOTOX® injections are often used to help people look younger, but what happens when the BOTOX® wears off? Some worry that their face will then appear older. However, in reality, once you stop getting BOTOX® treatments, your wrinkles begin to reappear and do not become worse later on. The injections have trained our faces into thinking they're smoother than usual, so after a while, it may take some time for them to readjust back from feeling too tight all the time!

Does drinking water help BOTOX®?
Skin hydration will help BOTOX® and Fillers last longer. Drinking plenty of water, applying moisturizer AM and PM, or doing facial exercises are all ways to keep your skin healthy. Skin care can also be an integral part of any treatment plan that utilizes injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic (Botulinum Toxin) or Sculptra®, as well as many other noninvasive procedures such as fat transfer liposuction treatments with Body contouring surgery elsewhere on the body where results are more profound due to greater levels of tissue laxity than would exist if there was no underlying.

What should I tell my doctor before getting BOTOX®?
Tell your doctor about all your muscle or nerve conditions, such as ALS or Lou Gehrig’s disease, myasthenia gravis, or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, as you may be at increased risk of serious side effects including difficulty swallowing and difficulty breathing from typical doses of BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Tell your doctor about all your medical conditions, including plans to have surgery; had surgery on your face; have trouble raising your eyebrows; drooping eyelids; any other abnormal facial change; are pregnant or plan to become pregnant (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic can harm your unborn baby); are breastfeeding or plan to (it is not known if BOTOX® Cosmetic passes into breast milk).
Tell your doctor about all the medicines you take, including prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements. Using BOTOX® Cosmetic with certain other medicines may cause serious side effects. Do not start any new medicines until you have told your doctor that you have received BOTOX® Cosmetic in the past.
Tell your doctor if you have received any other botulinum toxin product in the last 4 months; have received injections of botulinum toxin such as Myobloc®, Dysport®, or Xeomin® in the past (tell your doctor exactly which product you received); have recently received an antibiotic by injection; take muscle relaxants; take an allergy or cold medicine; take a sleep medicine; take aspirin-like products or blood thinners.

What should I do before my BOTOX® treatment?
To help prevent the risk of excessive bruising following BOTOX® injections, please avoid the following at least 3-5 days before treatment; Avoid NSAIDs, blood thinning vitamins, and alcohol can prevent hematomas or contusions as well as speed healing time. However, if you are taking anticoagulant therapy prescribed by your MD for any medical conditions please continue. FYI- Many medications and vitamins are considered blood thinning.
What should I do after my BOTOX® treatment?
After you receive your BOTOX® treatment, these guidelines may help you recover quickly:
- Bruising: This may last a couple of days to weeks. Arnika Forte contains bromelain which helps decrease the duration of bruising time and severity.
- Do not lie down for 3-4 hours following treatment.
- Keep head in a neutral position for the rest of the day without bending the head forward or down. By following these precautionary measures, you will minimize the occurrence of ptosis (droopy eyelids), and less than optimal outcomes.
- Facial exercises (squint/frown/smile) are recommended in the treated area for one hour after injection.
- Avoid manipulation of the treated area for the rest of the day such as the use of a Clarisonic brush, scrubbing, rubbing, or pressing of the treated areas.
- No exercise for 24-48 hours following treatment. Anything that causes heat or increases blood pressure will likely metabolize the product faster: i.e. hot yoga, pilates, saunas, steam rooms, infrared sauna, high impact exercise, hyperhidrosis, hypertension, hyperthyroidism, stress, etc.
